I was sorely tempted to buy the Whole Alphabet they are so AWESOME!! they would be fabulous for making Party/Christmas/Wedding banners etc I am definitely adding these right at the very top of my wish list ❤️

For this first card I used a Simon's Merlot Ink Pad, such a gorgeous deep crimson red colour. I used a Misti tool so that I could add more ink and stamp a couple of times to get a really deep covering.

WOW Lols - I'm so impressed - I was thinking of ordering the K for my post but worried about how to use them and get the stamping even - and you just show the most perfect result - LOVE your designs and wonderful handicraft.

Two super fun and gorgeous cards! I love these stamp sets from Wplus9 and your cards are such an amazing inspiration. I love how you used darker color tones and achieved beautiful results by heat embossing with white. Have a lovely day! xx Ankita

Beautiful cards! The designs looks amazing and I love how you created the background with the stamps, like your fabulous sentiment I think you have achieved "A is for Awesome" too 😉. Happy weekend! J 😊 x

These are lovely!! I really like both colors!! Black and white is always a classic combo but I really like that merlot color as well. I’m adding that kaleidoscope leaves set to the top of my wishlist. 😊
